Pawol will work the bases during the August 9 Marlins-Braves doubleheader and she will be behind the plate for the series finale on August 10.

Pawol, 48, began her affiliated-baseball umpiring career in 2016 at the rookie-ball level. She reached the Triple-A level in 2023, and then in 2024 she became the first female ump to work a spring-training game since Ria Cortesio in 2007.

Jen Pawol is set to become the first woman to be an umpire in a regular-season Major League Baseball game this weekend, working for the Atlanta Braves' three-game series at home against the Miami Marlins beginning on Saturday.
